November 10th, 2011 at 8:11 AM
If the Republican choices are Perry or Cain, my write-in vote will be for Purdue Matt.
November 10th, 2011 at 8:12 AM
Recommendation? Get a Toyota or Honda beater to get you from point A to point B. Save the Jeep Liberty for the snow/weekends. 80 miles a day … are you filling up gas twice a week?
November 10th, 2011 at 8:12 AM
I finally sat down and read the 23 pages of the grand jury findings. Combining that with what I’ve read on here and other places over the past few days, I will say that this witch hunt on Paterno is going to wind up alot like the witch hunt for the weapons of mass destruction used as justification to go to Iraq 10 years ago. A lot of blind emotion.
November 10th, 2011 at 8:13 AM
If the Republican choices are Perry or Cain
Perry has no shot, Cain still has a shot and his campaign staff should send a thank you letter to Sandusky & Co. every day.

wind up alot like the witch hunt for the weapons of mass destruction used as justification to go to Iraq 10 years ago.
And the PoFlaWa being early this morning.
Nah, the Kurds were never gassed, nor were the Iranians during the Iran Iraq war. They just died from a lot of camels farting. I wonder if there are underground facilities or mobile bio and chem weapons stations that could have easily been moved into Syria before the invasion.
But why bother arguing? You’re going to believe what you’re going to believe and be disdainful of any viewpoint different than yours.

November 10th, 2011 at 8:25 AM

but in all seriousness, I would go with BFG’s. they are more expensive on the front end, but they will last. I’ve got 210,000 miles on my truck and I am on my third set of BFG’s, been averaging over 60,000 miles on the tires. not sure about the fuel economy on them though.

If you’re willing to drop some cash, buy Michelin tires. Just had to replace mine on my car after 3 1/2 years (45,000 miles).
November 10th, 2011 at 8:29 AM

Third rec on the BF Goodrich tires – they last. Got 65,000+ out of a set on a Ranger. A friend got 80,000+ out of a set on an F250. Just gotta be careful in the rain – they’re hard as hell.

The settlement, the cost of litigation and all the investigations (state, national, local) will combine to cost the state of PA about $500,000,000.00 IMO. And a total loss of reputation for PSU for the next 25 years. Everybody looking away became a de-facto state sanctioned child rape.

November 10th, 2011 at 8:36 AM
If the current field stands the way it is, I don’t see how he doesn’t win the nod.
I think this election is a lot like 2004. There was a long shot in the lead for the nomination, then started doing weird stuff so the party went with the safe choice everyone knew, but weren’t too excited about from Mass. even though he comes with “flip-flopper” charges. You take it because the incumbent is beatable, but you wish you had someone better, but everyone who is deemed “better” on would rather wait four years.

November 10th, 2011 at 8:38 AM
Yeah, I know. Nothing occured between the almost 15 years of those gassings and Iraqi Freedom to have me believe they still had loads and loads of gas. There wasn’t tons of intelligence out there that said Iraq had nothing. There weren’t any inspectors who said Iraq had nothing. But don’t worry, the manipulation was bi-partisan with Clinton’s Desert Fox campaign.

Michelin LTX MS2 – civilized road noise, wear great, last a long time, and will give you better gas milage
something to also think about is if you go with any sort of all-terrain or mud-terrain tire you will be moving more mass (tread volume is usually higher) and this eats into fuel economy and makes for louder tires. If you wanted an AT tire, I would suggest the Bridgeston Dueler AT’s, the originals or the Revo’s.

like I said above, I am a huge fan of BFG AT’s, any idea how they line up with the Bridgestones? I kind of figured that with most brand-name tires, at least on AT’s more often than not they will be good tires. I’ve had nothing but good luck with my BFG’s, had maybe one flat over three sets and 8 years.

Not sure if their investment policy statement is public, but most say you can only spend around 3-5% per year. Some say you must spend around that amount (Austin for example) which is why their campus is under constant renovation/improvements.
I’d be surprised if the endowment could be touched, but that is for legal minds to figure out.

So, who’s golfing this weekend? I have in-laws invading so I won’t be able to make it out.
I got 2 9-hole rounds in on SUN and yesterday. 41 and 43. Started out w/ 3 pars yesterday and have visions of a par round. Finally got the game back after a year of fixing faults that crept in from my shoulder issues.

Honest question as I think you live in TX, right? Have the golf courses remained green during the drought?
doesn’t Urinal Mint live in or around Dallas? Because Dallas has plenty of water, always. They dammed up all the rivers and built reservoirs, and then sell the water to everybody else.
It’s central Texas that doesn’t have any water in droughts, because somebody dammed up all the rivers.

we’ve only had it about a year… but its a solid ride. the only thing i don’t like is the run flats. great MPG. smooth ride. my girlfriend loves it.
November 10th, 2011 at 9:06 AM
That’s the beauty of the run flat. You can drive ~80 miles on it.
The downside, and what really sucks, is no repair shop will even try to fix them. So you’re stuck shelling out ~$x00 for a new one.

Most of them, no. Almost all of the public courses went into early dormancy, unless they were one of the few near a creek or river bed. My course went cart path only in early July (talk about a pace killer) and it held up pretty well. The on-course ponds almost completely dried up a couple of times.
I was fully expecting my course to start shutting down 1-2 days a week to preserve the turf, but it never got that bad. It sits directly on a creek, so it manages to catch a lot of runoff from other areas. The superintendent did an amazing job keeping the bent greens in immaculate shape throughout.
Now that it’s raining once/twice a week and the rye grass is installed, everything looks lush again.
November 10th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Yes. And you’re right, Austin/San Antonio took it in the ass this year on drought. All of their courses dried up. The munis in the Austin area were trashed.

Fun Fact: Arizona has been in a drought for about 10+ years but water is not a problem because city planners were very smart and created the SRP and CRP which takes large amounts of water from the Salt, Verde and Colorado rivers. California city planners…not so smart.

So, if this has been discussed already, I apologize for not reading thoroughly all 29 PSU posts in the last 2 days, but what is going to happen to the school when the NCAA comes down on them? Or will it not be a “big deal” because it didn’t directly involve players?

I think it depends a bit more on how it all shakes out, but, as a PSU grad, I really feel like this is something that only happened because of just how connected football and academics were to a degree you don’t get everywhere. When you talk about losing institutional control and that sort of thing, I think the NCAA will have some sort of avenue to come down on them.
November 10th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
Way too soon, SG.
November 10th, 2011 at 9:38 AM
I would think its only a criminal case and not about player A selling a Jersey for cash or something. The NCAA would ignore it like they would if a player threatened to kill his gf..
November 10th, 2011 at 9:39 AM
**Why does everybody assume this just started in 1998. It’s more likely that Sandusky has been raping kids for a lot longer than that. It’s possible he’s been doing it for a long long time. There is a lot out there that we don’t know about.
Would you say for every victim that comes forward one/two/three might not?
November 10th, 2011 at 9:41 AM
Again, being completely out of touch with 99% of NCAA rules/regs, “Lack of Institutional Control” means what, exactly? Is this a Death Penalty kind of thing?

From Poynter:
A College Football Nation blog post Monday by Adam Rittenberg examined how the Penn State scandal could affect the Nittany Lions’ recruiting. Rittenberg’s post linked to one of ESPN’s early news stories about the case, but made scant mention of the particulars of the case beyond that.
To be sure, college football recruiting is a topic of vast interest to a fair-sized audience, and there’s certainly a story there at some point. But coming when it did, Rittenberg’s post wound up looking myopic and trivial. Readers pounced in the comments. “10-year-olds anally raped? Quick, what are the recruiting implications?” asked one commenter, while another advised, “Leave your Bristol bubble and rejoin the human race.”
